Regular contributor Spheniscus has brought us something that we are very excited to share with all of you. It won’t be long before the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame announces who their Finalist for the next class and our friend from Chicago by way of Boston has put together his top 40 acts in terms of their chances who enter eligibility this year.

Incorrectly classified by some as a one hit wonder (their monster hit Bittersweet Symphony overshadowed everything else they ever did), the Verve developed a beautiful sound that combined Psychedelic, Space Rock and Shoegazing genres. The result was a richly textured and sweet sound that often seemed a little ahead of what was going on around them. Again, like others from Britain, they might find themselves lumped in with the Oasis and Blurs of the world and their potential look from the Hall may go those aforementioned bands instead.
